background. the present study was undertaken to evaluate the level, sources and quality of information on implant treatment as an option for replacement of missing teeth, among a selected sample of dental patients in kerman, iran. methods. a cross-sectional study was conducted on 305 subjects who attended the 6 main dental clinics in kerman, iran during january and february 2014. a standardized...

objectives: this study sought to assess the effects of length and inclination of implants on stress distribution in an implant and terminal abutment teeth in an implant assisted-removable partial denture (rpd) using three-dimensional (3d) finite element analysis (fea).   materials and methods: in this in vitro study, a 3d finite element model of a partially dentate mandible with a distal extens...

Introduction: Among different non-invasive approaches for determining the stability of the implant within the bone is to use a dynamic device called Periotest®.It is designed to provide objective measurement of tooth mobility. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the stress transfer and stability in short and standard dental implants using Periotest®</sup...

peri-implantitis is one of the most common reasons for implant failure. decontamination of infected implant surfaces can be achieved effectively by laser irradiation; although the associated thermal rise may cause irreversible bone damage and lead to implant loss. temperature increments of over 10ºc during laser application may suffice for irreversible bone damage.the purpose of this study was ...

the focus of this paper is to evaluate the influence of mechanical characteristics of the implant on primary stability in different bone types, based on resonance frequency analysis (rfa).a number of 60 nobel biocare replace select tiunit tapered implants of two different lengths (10 mm and 13 mm) and three different widths as 3.4 mm (narrow platform (np)), 4.3 mm (regular platform (rp)) and 5 ...

the main goal of this study was to evaluate differences in stress distribution relevant to the number of implants under an anterior bridge when combined with a removable partial denture in the posterior region.four three-dimensional finite element models (3d fem) were designed from a mandible containing an implant-supported bridge extending between canines, and a bilateral distal extension remo...

soft tissue-implant interface is an important anatomical feature contributing to the long-term success of dental implants. based on the available evidence, different factors may influence biological width around implants including the surgical technique, implant loading, implant surface properties, abutment materials, implant position, and width of the peri-implant mucosa. the purpose of the pr...
